<p>Would it be good to document the actual OS versions used for automated testing of Rust? Tier 1 puts emphasis on  the automated testing so I think it might be helpful to have a page that spells out exactly what that means. I'd guess this might be the sort of thing that's already logged somewhere?</p>
<p>I'm not sure if this is compiler or infra so I'll put it here.</p>

<p>I think a main concern would be that the entire thing isn't up to us.</p>

<p>For example, we use whatever version of Xcode is installed by GHA</p>

<p>Since we wouldn't be the primary source of truth, at best we could link to some other resource.</p>

<p>(I've implicitly expanded "operating system" into "tools used when building the code")</p>

<p>Hm. Can the CI be used to create a "live" report of the tool versions used?</p>

<p>By "live" I mean at the time of the last nightly build or something along those lines.</p>
